Italain Art Deco emerald and diamond target ring c.1920
This Italian Art Deco target ring from the 1920s is crafted in solid 18k gold and set with an old-cut diamond (~0.75 ct) and calibre-cut emeralds.
The target ring is a design centered on layered composition, featuring a central stone—either single or multiple—encircled by a halo of decorative side stones. Named for its resemblance to a target, this style embodies the geometric symmetry characteristic of the Art Deco era. Beyond aesthetics, the concentric design carries symbolic meanings of focus, protection, and completeness, making it a highly sought-after motif during the period.
This finely crafted example showcases an old-cut diamond at its center, framed by a seamless circle of calibre-cut emeralds. The precisely set stones create a bold yet harmonious contrast, enhancing the ring’s structured geometry with striking depth and vibrancy.
As an antique, the ring shows normal signs of oxidation and wear. Condition assessments are subjective, so please click and enlarge our photos to examine more detailed condition aspects as part of your evaluation.
